Twenty (20), = redemption, completion and perfection.

Hundred (100), = what is full

And there came a man from Baalshalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat.

“How can I set this before a HUNDRED men?” his servant asked.

But Elisha answered, “Give it to the people to eat. For this is what the Lord says: ‘They will eat and have some left over.’” Then he set it before them, and they ate and had some left over, ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF THE LORD.

His soon to be manifested barley bread ...

For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. And we believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us. Romans 8:19,23

He chose to give us birth through the WORD OF TRUTH, that we would be a kind of FIRSTFRUITS (barley bread) of His creation. James 1:18

In the Spring the nation of Israel would harvest barley first and so that crop was the firstfruits offered unto the Lord!

Time we see that the ‘Firstfruits of the harvest’; is NOT the ‘Fullness of the Harvest; It is the “Firstfruits” only, that become the token of God’s Love unto all men, whereby He gives assurance that the ‘Full Harvest’ will also come afterwards.

Religion has twisted the truth, but the truth will be, for His Word is TRUTH!

There was a man that came from BaalShalishah which means "thrice-great lord" (Hosea 6:2) and he brought the firstfruits which were twenty loaves of barley, full ears of corn in the husk.

Now one can miss what the Spirit says and read only what the carnal mind sees, but Father wants us to see what Spirit has to say unto us.

The "full ears of corn in the husk" is Deep, for it is the Hebrew word Karmel and means = a planted Field, Garden, Vineyard, or Park; and orchard.

So Deep that one truly sees what the Word has to say unto the firstfruits --->"I am the true vine, and My Father is the vineyard keeper. John 15:1

Karmel also is a mountain where Elijah slew the 450 Baal Prophets of Jezebel together with the 400 false prophets of the groves. It is also the place where Elijah went before God to pray concerning the rain!

So much Deep in this I am in AWE with our Father!

So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees, And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again SEVEN times. And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, LIKE A MAN'S HAND. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not. And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a GREAT RAIN. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel ("God sows"). And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel. 1 Kings 18:41-46

Was it really ‘full ears of corn in the husk’ that the man who was sent from God, did bring to His prophet so that he might feed the ‘hungry people’?

I believe not, I see it as the “Manna sent from Heaven.”

Now we must see that this "MAN" whose identity is not revealed came and brought 'full ears of corn in the husk!' The Hebrew meaning of husk is = To Wind, A sack (as tied at the mouth).

This MAN brought ‘down’ the Righteousness of God, as He clothed the shame and nakedness of His people, who had been snared by sin.

Come on now, do we see in the Spirit the awesome display of Sonship?

AWAKE TO RIGHTEOUSNESS, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. 1 Cor 15:34

Bless Father, for He has desired to reveal unto them that renew their mind to know His will and purpose.

When one looks at the temple that Solomon built one would see the wood he used for the temple was from Lebanon. With that in mind allow the Spirit to speak light concerning this verse--->Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest? Isa 29:17

FRUITFUL FIELD ..... Bless Father for the fruitful field is the Hebrew word 'Karmel' and shows us Father is building His house from a fruitful field!

The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Psa 92:12 (SOS 4:11; Hos 14:5-7)

The ones that have been despised and rejected Father shall manifested before all to confound them who think they are wise (carnality)!

See, many signs given by Father in the Old Testament came to pass during the walk of Jesus the Christ!

Others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and still others, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.” Mark 6:15; .... Others thought Jesus was Elijah or one of the other prophets risen from the dead. Luke 9:8

The signs that Father did during Elijah days were also signs that Jesus the Christ was doing to show He was truly the Son of God!

For a long time I always wondered why barley loaves?

“There's a young boy here with five barley loaves and two fish. But what good is that with this huge crowd?” John 6:9

YES! Roughly 5000 men alone followed Jesus the Christ out into the wilderness. Time we put on the mind of Christ and see this feeding, for the ones that are to be sent forth into this hungry world are they the "YOUNG LADs"

Such glory to behold when David a young lad walked out before Goliath in the NAME OF THE LORD! and by the NAME OF THE LORD David's stone brought Goliath down! (1 Samuel 17:42)

YES A LAD, A YOUTH, A FIRSTFRUIT!

Once again by His Spirit let us look at John 6:9, “There is a lad here, which has Five (number of grace) Barley Loaves, (of the Firstfruit Harvest). And two (His witness) small fishes, but what are they among so many?”

A small army walking in the fullness of Father will turn this world unto Him and many will wonder how come so little. YET! Father desires nothing more but so little to show forth His magnificent glory!

"Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks ...."

GLORY .... Jesus took what Father gave unto Him and gave thanks for such a small number that is able to feed many.

Not only does He give thanks, but He BROKE the loaves for the feeding of the many.

But as many as received him, to them gave he authority (power) to become the sons of God, .... John 1:12

YES .... Father does the calling AND father prepares them for His calling! For in His calling He is braking us of ourselves, to be His manifested SONS!

Don't be fooled by the many that say they are sons because they said some prayer or were baptized some way. Father NEVER looks at the outer, BUT THE INNER!

For in this braking we are loosen from death, the body of sin, to have His life!

So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you. John 6:53

It is in eating His flesh one dies to self. For the rule of the carnal mind only keeps one in death and that rule can be seen by the understanding of Christ!

In today's religious world pretty well everyone is a Christian, in that I am saying pretty well everyone will say Christ lives within. For the word Christian means Christ within.

However, they who are growing in the understanding of Him by hearing His voice are seeing that the mature barley are they who are "Putting ON Christ!"

For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. Gal 3:27

To know the body of sin is dead and buried in Christ is to be clothed upon with Christ!

See, a Christian only has their identity hiding within! They can act any way they want around people by the knowledge of the good and evil presented. Saying one is a Christian now days is liking having a get out of jail free card that they can use anytime they are in trouble.

However! To be clothed upon by Christ is to be no longer I, but Him!

To PUT ON CHRIST is to not make room for the carnal mind. For you can only live one life at a time. Does one follow the outer man the man of death or does one put on the inner man, the man of life?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh yea many will say inner man for now they read this with the carnal mind. I tell you it is only hearing the voice of Him does one come to the understanding of PUTTING CHRIST ON!

See Abraham heard the voice of Him telling Abraham that he was going to have a son. So yes at that time Abraham was in a way a Christian. For within him was the word of Life heard and planted. BUT! It was not until the Christ was born that Abraham was the father of the Son of God! At 90 he hears, at a 100 Christ is seen and Abraham is the father of the Son of God!

Father today is speaking to the many concerning His will, in that the many would be the IMAGE of Him in this world. The many though prefer to keep that image within and just say "Yes, I am a Christian (Christ within).

Those who see Him as He is say be AS HIM!

When asked by Jesus the Christ who the many say He is, many old testament prophet names were spoken. When asked who He is, Peter by the revelation of the Father said "You are the Christ!"

Do the many or even the few around you know you have put on Christ or do they see you just as a Christian that attends some church?

Does your mind see you as body and soul or does the word of Life show you, you are soul and spirit?

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Romans 8:9

Bless Father!

Before He opened my eyes I was a teacher of church doctrines. I would study what man said was God's doctrine and I would teach others. When Father opened the eyes of my hEARt to His Truth, I saw myself as one called to teach others the word of Life!

Yesterday I was working on part five of this study and stopped for I could not understand it in the spirit. Yes! My carnal mind saw it, but it saw it as a carnal minded man. Yet, I knew it was Deeper, so I stopped typing it out and just set it aside. Bless Father! During the night Father opened the eyes of my understanding by His Spirit to understand the word of Life, so that I my be His called teacher.

This is part five which I typed out yesterday ------>Is there a 3-fold harvest or does the doctrine of Jesus the Christ returning upon a cloud to gather His, truth?

But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 1 Cor 15:23,24

We can see in 1 Corinthians 15:23,24 Christ as the Firstfruits; AND this is speaking of the Whole Body Of Christ; the Christ of God; the Anointed Ones.

They who have PUT ON Christ!

Ohhhhhh I know what the mind thinks right away for I was a rapture teacher and I said the Christ was the first to be raptured, then the church or they who are His! HOWEVER! I thank Father for showing me that when I PUT ON Christ, I am His Christ in this world! And as His Christ, He is able to quicken my mortal flesh now to be immortal, to reveal the Christ of God to all!

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 1 John 3:1-3

When one sees Him, that one will be like Him! Or, When one understands by the voice of the Father that that one needs to put on Christ, for the ones that have Christ on will be them in the first harvest!

The barley harvest!!

The second harvest is "they that are Christ's." For after the barely harvest came the wheat harvest and the wheat harvest was not the end, but it was a harvest of His waved sheaves before Him in the temple!

And you are to celebrate the Feast of Weeks with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year. Exo 34:22 --------

NOW, What stumped me was I taught and heard Christ was the first to be risen from the dead. So I wonder how is there a '3-fold harvest' in 1 Cor 15:23,24.

Well again Bless Father.

Father told me Christ indeed was the first risen from the dead and He was the first Sheaf waved before the Father. However in 1 Cor 15:23 it reads "...But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; ..." Now if this was talking about Jesus the Christ it would read "But every man in his own order: Christ the firstFRUIT; But it is talking about them who have PUT ON Christ for they are the firstfruitS!

As in more than one!

After Father spoke to me concerning them who put on Christ and will be the firstfruitS in His order, He went on to teach me more of this Truth.

But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 1 Cor 15:23,24

"...they that are Christ's at his coming."

Jesus the Christ is the Shepherd and He has His own sheep that He calls His own! They are the ones that "...are Christ's at his coming."

See they are sheep, they follow the shepherd and they listen to His voice. For His voice speaks according to the maturity level of the sheep's hEARt.

Not ALL hear the call to 'PUT ON Christ!' They hear the call to be a Christian and that is as far as they grow in their understanding. We can see this by the prayers that the Apostle Paul offered for the Ephesian Church.

Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, ... Ephesians 1:15-21; For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, ... Ephesians 3:14-19

Father opened the Apostle's hEARt to the word of Life and the Apostle hEARt desire was for the Ephesians to see it, understand it and believe it!

But ye have not so LEARNED Christ; If so be that ye have HEARD him, and have been TAUGHT BY HIM, as the truth is IN Jesus: That ye PUT OFF concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye PUT ON the new man, which AFTER God is CREATED in righteousness and true holiness. Eph 4:20-24

Yes Jesus the Christ wills that everyone PUTs ON THE NEW MAN, THE CHRIST! But, not everyone will hear and obey. But that does not stop them from "being's Christ" sheep!

The third harvest is "... when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God"

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh I can hear the feathers being ruffled on many that do not know that Father is love but teach a hell, a lake of fire, eternal damnation. See Jesus said to the Pharisees--->And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Luke 17:20,21

Ohhhhhhh I know the heated debates that Jesus the Christ was telling the Pharisees that the Kingdom of God was IN THEIR MIDST! I know the heated debates that Jesus was sawing the Kingdom comes but He was not saying in was in them.

Father showed me His Kingdom is within everyone born in this world for any born in this world are born IN HIS SPIRIT!

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Gen 2:7

What the LORD God just blew His Spirit (breath) in just ONE man? I think NOT!

Even John the Baptist had the light that the Kingdom of God is in everyone born in this world!

ALL things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. John 1:3,4

Notice ALL things were made by HIM and HIM IS SPIRIT!

Time to awake to the Truth that we are spiritual people in a body of flesh!

When Christ delivers up to the Father the Kingdom it will be EVERY PERSON that has come into this world.

MY MY MY!

As I look through the Old Testament and see the awesome display of His love, mercy and compassion I am baffled how so many today teach Jesus the Christ came into this world to take away sin so that any that believe will go to a place up in the sky called heaven and to be with Him forever.

MY MY MY!

Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.

Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. Isaiah 6:6,7

WHAT! Father sends a messenger with a LIVE COAL (living word of Life) and that live coal TAKES AWAY Isaiah INIQUITY and purges him of all his sin!

MY MY MY! Wake up and see Father can by His Word purge one to be a vessel in His household used for His glory!

But in a great house (Father's HEART) there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. Ti 2:20

The firstfruitS are they who PUT ON Christ, the 2nd harvest are they who are the sheep of the Shepherd and the 3rd harvest will be the remaining ALL!

And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be ALL in ALL. 1 Cor 15:28

And He has made KNOWN TO US THE MYSTERY OF HIS WILL according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to bring all things in heaven and on earth together in Christ. Eph 1:9,10

Or in the KJV --->Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation (the management of a household or of household affairs) of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: ....

Father has His house in order and in the fullness of His time, His will shall be complete in that all shall be in all!

They who are putting on Christ are they who shall be first in Father's order for that was His plan from the foundation of the world!

FLAX ..... Flax. For many years I wonder why the spies sent unto Jericho were hiding under bushels of flax?

But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof. Joshua 2:6

Flax represents the ‘righteousness’ of the Saints!

Even Deeper yet, the flax represents them that have PUT ON Christ!

And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was boiled. But the wheat and the rye were not smitten: for they were not grown (matured) up. Ex 9:31,32

Now recall this judgement in Exodus 9 was spoken unto Egypt which represents the world! The linen of the world is but UNRIGHTEOUSNESS for it is a body of sin that has fallen short of Him who is Spirit!

How many today that call themselves Christian walk in the linen of the world? Please see how the CHURCH in Revelation 3, proclaimed BY THEIR RELIGIOUS WALK THAT THEY WERE ALIVE; BUT Christ tells them they are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, AND NAKED!!!! Rev 3:14-22

See FLAX and BARELY were known to grow fast and mature sooner! The heads matured fast ..... Flax and Barley is always planted in the fall during the same time as the Wheat. Yet flax and barley matures rapidly in the spring, it is for this reason that when the judgments fell on Egypt that the flax and barley were the first to be smitten.

Today in the so called churches if one brings in this word of Life they will be smitten down by the tongues of pastors and teachers. They will be cast out and their name will be trampled upon. They will be HATED for righteousness (right way) sake.

They who come to know they must PUT ON Christ, will be the flax and barely before this present world!

The called out ones are of His firstfruits, sheafs of the barley harvest and are being processed and going through much suffering, and are put through many trials, during this time. This is what is called the “Threshing Floor”, where they are being gleamed, and grounded into “fine flour” suitable for the making of becoming daily bread to the world.

Father is preparing a firstfruit barley company in this very hour we are living in. He is raising up His firstfruits, of His harvest, AND these ones will be walking IN HIS FULLNESS, and the rest of His people will be found in ‘flight’ trying to hide themselves from the wrath of the Lamb. However! these “Mighty Ones” shall stand immovable in the middle of their battles, and through these ones the Lord will cause DEATH His enemy to be put to flight, for they have set themselves upon a “sure foundation” and proclaim His Word to be faithful.

An empty vessel of self to be seen as Christ in this age!

“I can of mine own will, do nothing, but the will of my Father. John 5:19-30.
